TV show Shadowhunters has won four prizes at the People’s Choice Awards, despite having been cancelled in June.

The US supernatural drama series was voted the best show of 2018 and most binge-worthy show of 2018.

Katherine McNamara and Harry Shum Jr were also named best male and female TV stars at the awards, which are run by the E! network and voted for by fans.

The show is an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments novel series and is currently in its third series.

Shadowhunters’ network, Freeform, announced in June that the third series of 20 episodes would be the last, but two extra episodes will air in February 2019 to conclude the show.

While it has attracted a cult following in the US, UK audiences may be less familiar with the show, which is available to binge-watch on Netflix.

The awards success led fans to renew their calls for it to carry on beyond next year.

“This award is about how passionate the Shadowhunters fandom really is. We are forever grateful, honoured, and inspired by each and every one of you,” said Emeraude Toubia, one of the drama’s stars.

Co-star Isaiah Mustafa praised the network and producers of the series, along with their dedicated fans, adding: “We just wanted to say thank you to the most dedicated, loving fandom out there.

“We miss you guys. We’re going to see you in 2019.”
